摘要:
A method, user interface module, computer program product, computer system and system that enable a graphical user interface to be used by persons with visual disabilities. The graphical user interface includes a toolbar, which provides features that enable a visually disabled user to navigate and activate the functions provided by buttons or other controls on the communication toolbar. As a user navigates around the user interface, auditory messages are read describing functionality of different features of the graphical user interface. The text can be audibly read by, for example, a screen reader module. By using a hotkey or menu navigation, a user can issue commands that would normally be issued by clicking on the toolbar. Furthermore, the user can type text into text input boxes, select items from combo boxes, enable broadcast messages to be read, and choose to listen to status messages.
摘要:
The present invention provides a user interface and method for communicating using multiple communication channels of different media types. The method include obtaining an event communicated via an incoming communication channel, where the event corresponds to a work item available to an agent. A notification of the work item is provided via the user interface. The method includes receiving an activation of a work item object of the user interface, where the work item object is associated with the work item. The method includes issuing a command associated with the activation of the work item object to an outgoing communication channel. The user interface enables the agent to work using different communication channels while presenting a consistent interface independent of the media type of the communication channel.
摘要:
One or more third party channel drivers interface with a centralized communication application server. An aggregate channel driver (ACD) is included in a channel driver to implement commands and command parameters that are supported by a particular core channel driver (CCD), but not by the communication server. The ACD can also implement events and event parameters that are supported by a particular communication server, but not by the CCD. A customer can thus include the ACD to extend and/or overwrite the functionality of a channel driver without rewriting or modifying the CCD.

The present invention provides a configurable system for communicating via multiple communication channels of different media types. The system includes multiple channel drivers for communicating with a corresponding communication channel of multiple communication channels of different media types. The system includes a command table for storing commands associated with a channel driver. The system user interface for specifying an outbound communication channel to perform an outbound command of the plurality of commands. The system includes instructions for determining an outbound channel driver of the plurality of outbound channel drivers to issue the outbound command to the outbound communication channel. The system includes instructions for sending the outbound command to the outbound channel driver for issuing the outbound command to the outbound communication channel. The system includes a database comprising a command table comprising a plurality of command records, each command record representing a command of the plurality of commands; a channel driver table comprising a plurality of channel driver records, each channel driver record providing a location of a channel driver file name for one of the plurality of channel drivers; and a user interface object table comprising a plurality of user interface object records, each user interface object record corresponding to a command record of the plurality of command records of the command table. The system includes instructions for associating a command of the plurality of commands with a user interface object of the user interface object table, wherein the activating the user interface object issues the associated command.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for maintaining data for multi-channel communication queuing associated with different media formats such as telephone, email, and fax. A list of agent data includes information related to types of communication media an agent can access. The data can further include information related to an agent's skills, a list of media routes, statistics for communication channels of specified media types, statistics for an agent, and journals for work items. Priority values for the media routes, the maximum number of queued items for the media routes, and times for escalating a work item can also be included.

摘要:
A user interface display comprises a plurality of selectable icons and a control symbol in a toolbar. The control symbol can be selected by a user to display additional selectable icons within the toolbar. The additional icons can be inserted adjacent the control symbol or in another location on the toolbar. A user can associate a set of one or more selectable icons with a control symbol. The set of icons can be displayed adjacent the control symbol or at any pre-specified position on the toolbar. In one implementation, reselecting the control symbol removes the additional icons from the toolbar. In another implementation, the additional icons are removed when one of the additional icons is selected. If the icons are positioned adjacent to their corresponding control symbol, the display position of other icons on the toolbar is adjusted to allow room for the additional icons. When a set of the additional icons are removed from the display, the position of the other icons on the toolbar is re-adjusted to remove open space between icons on the toolbar. The toolbar can include more than one control symbol, and more than one set of additional icons can be displayed simultaneously. The toolbar allows the user to include or remove additional icons from the toolbar on an as-needed basis, thereby eliminating the need for additional toolbars and leaving more space available on the display for information that may be more useful.

摘要:
A method, system, computer system and computer program product to enable a single interface to be used to prepare and present messages in a variety of different formats. For example, the single interface can be used to prepare, receive or display messages in different languages, such as English or Japanese, which require different character sets. Furthermore, the single interface supports preparing, sending, and receiving messages in multiple text formats, such as plain text, rich text, and Multiple Internet Mail Extension (MIME) format. A message can be received in a native format, and a format for providing a response to the message can be dynamically selected. The response is provided in the dynamically-selected format.
摘要:
A method and system to dynamically associate a workstation with a teleset. Data related to the call are transferred to the workstation during the call. Forming the dynamic association between the workstation and the teleset can include determining a hostname for the workstation, searching for the hostname in configuration data, and, if the hostname is found, dynamically associating the workstation with a teleset associated with the hostname. A server can be notified to transfer data associated with a call on the teleset to the workstation.
